Signs of Spring at the Boston Flower and Garden Show

The Boston Flower and Garden Show is underway at the Seaport World Trade Center from now through Sunday and is a great place to get inspiration for your home garden.  The show features garden exhibits, vendors, lectures and a market area to buy plants and all sorts of other garden related products.

My mom and I visited this morning, and it was fun to explore new plants, plant combinations, and garden structures, to get some ideas for upcoming design projects.

Here are a few of my favorite finds.

Hellebore ‘Ivory Prince’ – Hellebores are one of the earliest flowering plants;  they come in a variety of colors and are an especially welcome site at the end of the winter. 

Pinus parviflora ‘Goldilocks’ – I love, love, love the bright yellow cones!
Pieris japonica ‘Dorothy Wycoff’ – This evergreen shrub is so versatile; with fragrant bell shaped flowers in the spring, gorgeous red fall foliage; and it works in full sun to full shade!
Fothergilla ‘Mt. Airy’- A native, deciduous shrub that blooms early in the spring.  It’s orange fall foliage makes it a great shrub for the fall garden
A gorgeous vertical garden made entirely of herbs!  Beautiful, useful and very fragrant.  
I loved this whimsical play space for kids.  Made by Wooden Wonders it’s appropriately called a “Hobbit Hole”

It looks like another wintery March weekend is coming up, so head to the Flower and Garden show for a breath of spring!
